SGTSYH appeared on Back To The Egg in 1979...performed with the Rockestra Lineup...great little ending with Macca playing a cool bass riff on his Rickenbacker while John Bonham plays a little shuffle beat on drums...what a rhythm section!

Oh, god, of course! Now that rings a bell! Just been a while since I last heard Back To The Egg - and while it has a fair few decent songs on there, the only song I absolutely love to bits is "Old Siam Sir" - Wings' answer to Eleanor Rigby, I reckon (don't you think that the lady Paul describes in the song sounds a lot like Ms Rigby?). Oh, and I do like the Rockestra Theme a lot, too!

The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

I have mixed feelings about Back to the Egg. There are some songs on it that I think are really fabulous, and then others that I think are, well, not exactly weak, but definitely not great. Among my favorites...Spin it On, Old Siam Sir, Arrow Through Me (underrated I think), Rockestra (just a bit too short for me), and Baby's request. But Egg just doesn't grab me the same way other Wings albums do.

Can't really argue with much there, Ram1 - but I don't go a bundle on "Arrow Through Me" - it's one of those that I don't think Paul got quite right, and really could have been a lot better. The melody, I feel, has something missing - I think it should have been a little different . . . oh well . . .

I've always been sympathetic to Flying To My Home as a hidden gem. It first appeared as the B-side to My Brave Face and when I first heard Flowers In the Dirt I could not help but wonder how the hell tracks such as Distractions and How Many People were included on the album ahead of it.

FTMH is a good song, well up to standard, but the vocals don't really sound very Macca-like, do they?

And FITD doesn't have a single weak track on it!
